I miss the day's when boxing was broadcast on HBO and Showtime. Jim Lampley is one of the best, if not the best to call fight's.

"to appreciate underneath all that is that they are in the process of falling in love, that by the time they reach the final bell, they will know each other better than their mothers or their fathers do"

so haney and ryan garcia are in love and know each other better than their mama's, ok jim

I can't wait for Ryan to crack Rolly with his patented left hook and Jim jump up and scream "WHAT A RIGHT HAND!".

One can criticise HBO for a few things, but not on their boxing coverage, they were the best, better than Showtime.

I literally watched nothing but HBO boxing back in the day since I never subbed to Showtime. I know people knock on them but nothing beat Lampley/Foreman/Merchant regardless of their love for Manny

HBO also had the BEST intro theme of any show...
